Arrival Story:
We first saw Merlin walking around outside our front door over a year ago - he had a collar on and when we said "hello there" he came right up to us and rolled over on his back and let us pet him and rub his belly, obviously a very friendly kitty! We found out that he belonged to a neighbor and they told us that they were looking for someone to take Merlin in since they were moving to Florida. We let them know that if they couldn't find anyone, we'd take him. A day or two later, our doorbell rings, and there's our neighbor holding out Merlin, saying "he's yours!" They also gave us his papers/vet history and we adopted him just days before his 1st birthday and kept his given name. (We like to think that Merlin chose us for his new parents the day he walked over to our front door.) We didn't know what our dog MooMoo would think of him but since she figured out he was here to stay, they get along most of the time, sometimes napping together. Merlin even grooms MooMoo - too cute!

Bio:
Merlin lives with his dog sister MooMoo. He gets chased around the house at least once a day by her but we've caught him being the instigator at times! He sticks up for himself and they make up afterwards, often taking naps near each other. Merlin is a lovey-dovey boy, loves attention, and will literally fall down and roll over on his back waiting for his belly to be rubbed. He's such a silly cat sometimes!

A big "THANK YOU" to everyone for the rosettes, p-mails, and congrats! It really meant a lot to me and made me feel extra special! I had a great day yesterday and topped it off with having tuna for dinner - yummy! Thank you again to Catster and all my friends to making this day one to remember!

Oh, my goodness! What an honor! Thank you so much, Catster! My momma can't stop smiling! She can hardly type this, she's so excited - MOL! What a great way to start the day! Thank you again! Meow, Meow!


It's snowing!


January 14th 2008 6:26 am   [link to this entry]

Hello, everyone! It snowed a LOT last night and this morning! I'm just so excited, I can hardly stand it! When I watch the snow fall, I always try to catch some snowflakes when they hit the glass - MOL! I never catch any but today I got to go outside with Momma, Daddy, and MooMoo! Momma held me so I could check out all the beautiful winter snow. I'm an indoors cat and I'm not used to stepping out in this fluffy stuff so needless to say that I quite enjoyed myself! I spied some birds and squirrels while I was out there - bet I made them nervous being outside with them - heh, heh, heh.
